SPECIAL MENTION: These pencils offer more than just colors: Each is infused with a fragrant essential oil associated with a specific aromatherapy benefit. The idea, for example, is to help students relax (lavender), focus (bergamot), or remain calm (jasmine) in noisy classrooms. An antimicrobial coating prevents common germs from being passed around.
